I have a power mac G5 and want to play sims 3 on it.

I have a power mac G5 and want to play sims 3 on it. When I click on the disk from the desktop it says "you can not open the application the sims 3 installer, because its not supported on this architecture." How can I fix and or resolve this issue? Thanks in advance! Connor

Sorry, but The Sims 3 require an Intel CPU Mac running OS X Leopard  10.5.7 or greater.
Your G5 is IBM PowerPC Mac and therefore will not run on that hardware architecture.
No workarounds. You need a newer Intel Mac to play this version of The Sims.
Sorry,

    Thanks roaminggnome. Can I do that transfer wirelessly or do I have to get a large jump drive to copy and transfer. I presume that I cannot use my iPod right?

  • I HAVE A POWER MAC G5 AND IT WONT POWER UP.

    I have a Power Mac G5 (late 2005).  It will not power up.I Have already replaced the PRAM battery and tried hitting the SMU button.  Nothing.

    Pull the plug from the wall receptacle (the wall receptacle works, right?).
    Press the power button (This is to drain builtup charge).
    Replug the power cord to the wall receptacle.
    Do you hear any clicks?
    Press the power button. Still dead?
    If you hear two clicks after reconnecting power, the PSU is likely dead.
    Using a volt ohm meter (multimeter) you can test the PSU:

  • HT204319 I have a Power mac G4 and I'm trying to upgrade it so I can transfer it to a new Imac

    I just purchaseda new Imac and am trying to transfer data from my old PowerMac G4 that has ssytem 10.5.8
    When following the prompts from the new Imac it asked me to open Migration assistant which I did.
    The new computer found the old but there was a yellow triangle with an excamation point in it, I clicked that and it said I needed to update the old computer to a newer version.
    That's where I'm stuck.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5872 says
    Migration Assistant in Mavericks is compatible with OS X Snow Leopard v10.6.8 or later. If you are migrating from an earlier version of OS X, update your older computer first, or manually copy your data from one computer to another.
    You cannot upgrade your Mac to 10.6.8 so you will have to transfer the data manually as indicated in the linked page.

  • I have a power mac g5 and it don't have a hard drive

    what do i have to do

    Install a hard drive, buy a retail version of OS X appropriate for the computer (OS X 10.5x is likely best) and install the OS on the newly installed hard drive.
    You will need a SATA rev 2 or possible SATA rev 3 hard drive of less than 2.2 TB capacity.
    Use Western Digital Blue or Black and Hitachi 7k drives.
    Western Digital Velociraptors are also good.
    SATA rev. 2 drives by WD and Hitachi are plug and play.
    SATA rev. 3 drives from WD are fine with jumper on pins 5&6.
    Hitachi SATA rev. 3 7200K drives are plug and play.
    Do not exceed 2.2 TB in a single volume.
    Avoid Seagate and ALL green or 5400 RPM drives.
    Best to not risk SATA rev. 3 SSDs. There have been reports of non-use for a couple of popular drives by OCZ, Crucial, Corsair......
    Sandforce controlled SATA rev 2 SSDs are fine.
    Only retail OS X discs can be used.
    They are scarce and can be expensive:

  • I have a power Mac G4 and its 7/8 years. It keeps crashing when I try to boot it up. The chord sounds and the fans whirr but it stalls at different points each time. Can you help?

    I've tried unplugging everything but it hasn't helped. Sometimes get an error message saying it was not turned off properly. Operating system is 10. something - not sure without turning it on!

    Hello Vicky,
    Does it boot into any of these modes?
    Holding Option/alt key at bootup.
    Holding SHIFT key at bootup.
    Target mode...
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661
    Does it boot to Single User Mode, CMD+s keys at bootup, if so try...
    /sbin/fsck -fy
    Repeat until it shows no errors fixed.
    (Space between fsck AND -fy important).
    Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck...

    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

  • I have a 2006 Lexus RX330 and want to play my nano 6th generation through radio. Don't want to use 'tape cassette'. What FM transmitters are really good?  I have wireless bluetooth for phone but doesn't work for music.

    There are so many FM transmitters ranging from $2.00 to $100.00.  I have a tape cassette in car and an old cassette adapter that doesn't work well and makes noise.  The car has bluetooth wireless for iPhone but does not play music (unless I just couldn't figure this out.  I want the best transmitter for city driving, but one that doesn't cost too much.  Any success stories?

    For anyone following, I looked further into the tape cassette adapter and it seems to get the best reviews vs. FM transmitter.  Guess there is a good reason that I have the last year model with a tape cassette.  Worth mentioning is the Maxell one gets a better review than the Monter one.  Not sure why, but it's cheaper. Anyone else find a good quality tape cassette adapter?

  • I have a Power Mac G4 (2004) and want to transfer all my files to a new MacBook Pro 15.4". Can this be done thru firewire cable or do I have to transfer to an external Firewire 800 hard drive first?

    I have a Power Mac G4 (2004) and want to transfer all my files to a new MacBook Pro 15.4". Can this be done thru firewire cable or do I have to transfer to an external Firewire 800 hard drive first?

    Do it with a Firewire cable (buy a 800/400 adapter if you need it) - the USB transfer takes a much longer time.
    Start up your old PowerMac G4 holding down the "T" key, for target disk mode.
    On your new MacBook Pro open "Migration Assistant" in your utilities folder.
    Connect the 2 computers by firewire cable and follow the prompts in Migration Assistant.
